Explore the John Riddle Commentary Series by John M Riddle, a rich collection of Bible commentaries developed from decades of in-depth Bible Class teaching.
These insightful studies are based on discussions held at Mill Lane Chapel, Cheshunt, where each passage was carefully examined and supported by prepared notes. These notes were then expanded through thoughtful contributions and observations shared during the sessions, resulting in detailed and spiritually enriching commentaries.
Covering key passages of Scripture, the series offers clear teaching, practical insight, and well-structured outlines. While not overly technical, these commentaries provide depth and substance, making them valuable for both personal study and group learning.
Ideal for preachers, Bible teachers, and serious students of the Bible, the John Riddle Commentaries are a trusted resource for developing messages, leading Bible studies, and gaining a deeper understanding of God’s Word.
